Dear father and mother:
Sajikkol, Seoul,
September 7>■1930.
?You don't know how glad I was to hear from you last
Wednesday and have the good news that mother was Improving well;
but I am certainly sorry about the car. Do hope the engine is not
injured. It is too bad you have this extra financial burden. I
hope things will get easier before long, but with the crops there
so poor this year there would seem +o be little hope of improvement
for a while. . ' •- a— f A
a I haVe now received the three packages of cards that you sent.
It was no little task to packtthem in the boxes, and I want you to
know I thought about how your"-fingers had placed§them just so before
they started on the journey. I was so glad to get the novel little
card enclosed in your letter made out of envelope lining. It and the
other use you suggested making waste baskets give me good ideas, and
I shall try tb adapt them to Korean uses. Also the flower vases.
Day before yesterday I saw Dr. Ross and Albert of Syenchun.
Mrs. Ross wrote me a letter that came that day, saying they would be
in Seoul. Albert was on his way to America to enter Huron College,
South Dakota, ^he positions he was able to get out here did not pay
much, and he felt he had better go
diploma and a teacher's certificate
He told me he mi$it be visiting his
summer, and at that time he would likefto see you. His sister
Lillian will be going on furlough next summer and they may meet
somewhere there. They seem to be very cordial toward me. tMaybe
*y ts V
did not tell you about Dr. McCune's giving me aihstm cured by the
boys at the college while I was in ?ven& vang; and a,s I thought I
could not use it I sent it to the Rosses.

^es, mty!*stay at Syenchun proved to be msen jnore than it
promised at first. I feel it is one- of the most profitable sea sobs
spent in Korea. Of course 1 have no definite plans for next summer,
but there are several things in my mind. When summer comes each year
I think it w juld be pleasant just to stay here and be quiet, go to
the river or 23 miles down to the port for swimming, and get acquainted
with many whom I can not see much during the busy winter months,
besides working on my kodak album, catching up on correspondence and

other little odd jobs that get set aside.
Then there is also the desire to see some more of the famous
places in the East. One of my friends in Seoulfis going to Peking
next summer for a month. He^says the whole expense would come to
only about seventy yen. One of my Princeton friends was from Peking,
and I might be able^to look-him up. There are many wonderful things
